Sorry to hear that your came with Dunlops. Unfortunately they are really bad even from on road performance. My Land Cruiser came with them and within a week I had new shoes on. I just took delivery of 21 GX for my wife and requested that it needs to have Michelins which is what I got. You may be able to trade them at Discount Tire. They gave me money for the set and got an awesome deal on replacement. You can as well CL/FB them. My rececomndation, don't waste time on them and replace them.

yep. Headed that way myself. Problem is there’s very little options for a 265/55-19 tire these days. Will likely go 275/55-19 as long as they don’t rub. I hope the small variation will have no impact.

To be direct ... the Dunlop's and Bridgestone's that Toyota / Lexus buy in-mass and put on the majority of their body-on-frame vehicles are absolute garbage. I always drive directly from new vehicle delivery to Discount Tire to purchase real tires. Discount Tire has always been fair in offering trade-in value for the OEM tires ... but if you are lucky, some GX's are delivered with Michelin's ... but those are far and few between.

Just a tip, when you are at the dealer negotiating, you can ask if they`d be willing to do replacement wheels and tires off another instock unit (you might be asked to pay mounting charges or if the dealer feels charitable)

Flat spots caused from sitting extended but not excessive periods ... and from sitting in the cold will work themselves out after 5-odd miles ... with the tires rotating and heating up from road friction.
